Biographical note: Alf studied at the University of New South Wales graduating with BSc, and PhD in Pure Mathematics in 1968, and later obtained a BA Hons in Philosophy and an MBA. He stayed at UNSW until taking a Chair in Mathematics at Macquarie University in 1979. Before and since then he has held visiting appointments at Leiden; Cambridge; Queen's, Ontario; Bordeaux; Delft; IAS, Princeton; Rutgers, New Jersey; and MSRI, Berkeley. Alf's professional interests are in mathematical questions employing number-theoretical techniques. He chaired the working-party conducting the recent ``Strategic Review of Mathematical Sciences Research and Advanced Mathematical Services in Australia'' (and provided the cover picture).
